How to Follow Nancy Pelosi's Stock Trades
A practical guide to tracking Congressional stock disclosures — and turning them into a repeatable edge — using the Wall Street Jocks Congress Trades Tracker.
Why traders watch Congress
Members of the U.S. Congress (and their spouses) are required by the STOCK Act of 2012 to file periodic transaction reports within 45 days of any trade above $1,000. Those filings are public — and a small group of lawmakers, with Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi at the top of the list, have built a track record that consistently beats the S&P 500.
Following these disclosures isn't insider trading; it's reading public records faster than the rest of the market.
Step 1 — Open the Congress Trades Tracker
Wall Street Jocks pulls two pipelines in parallel: the official House Financial Disclosures feed and a backup feed from Financial Modeling Prep. Every row is tagged with a source badge so you can see exactly where the data came from:
- OFFICIAL — straight from the House clerk's feed
- FMP — our backup pipeline, useful when the official feed lags
Pro and Admin members can run an on-demand sync at any time to pull the latest disclosures.
Step 2 — Filter for Nancy Pelosi (or any member)
Use the chamber and trade-type filters to narrow the feed. To zero in on Pelosi specifically, filter by House and Purchase — her long-dated call options on names like NVDA, MSFT, and GOOGL have been some of the most-copied trades in recent memory.
Sort by date to see the newest filings first, and watch the Days to Report column — short reporting windows often mean the trade was disclosed near the legal deadline, so the underlying position may already be weeks old.
Step 3 — Cross-check with our smart-money tools
A Pelosi disclosure on its own is a starting point, not a thesis. Before acting, line it up against:
- Options Flow — is unusual call buying confirming the bias?
- Dark Pool Prints — are institutions accumulating quietly?
- RSI Signals — is the name overbought or setting up a pullback entry?
When two or three signals agree with a Congressional buy, the setup gets a lot more interesting.
Step 4 — Build a repeatable workflow
- Check the Congress Trades Tracker once a day.
- Star any new filing from a member with a strong track record (Pelosi, Crenshaw, Gottheimer, Khanna).
- Confirm with options flow and dark pool activity.
- Size the position to the conviction, not the headline.
- Log the trade in the Trade Journal so you can grade it later.
